Career
Šiška began his career with HK Nitra's academy and made his senior debut for the team during the 2012–13 season. He then went on to the Canadian Hockey League and was drafted 9th overall by the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in the 2013 CHL Import Draft.[2] However, he would return to Slovakia to rehabilitate neck and back injuries[3] and would eventually sit out the entire 2013–14 season.
